{{{Crunchy Frog}}}} You have to come further south first! 😉

as for the rest of my hugs…  
{{{little\*bit}}} - we virtual “other women” need to stick together.  
{{{the Tallahassee Dopers}}} - may we find the time to Dopefest again.

{{{the rest of the SDMB}}} - there are too many to count but everyone deserves a hug!

Of course, everyone here deserves the warmth of a hug and a smile this and every Holiday season…and every other day of the year, but I’m just going to name a few people that I always try to keep an eye out for, for one reason or another, or that I have actually met, so:

**idiotboy** , good ska, thanks for the invite  
**struuter** , you rock. I could say more, but this is a family thread  
**Satan** , good man, great posts  
**Montfort** , even though you didn’t let me take pictures  
**APB9999** , because you made me laugh my ass off once, and that was enough  
**Zenster** , thanks for the tune  
**Silver Fire** , because, IIRC, we have the same birthday  
**Dire Wolf** , because I spent too damn much time trying to think of other ways to say your name  
**Sue Duhnym** , because you were beautiful before the surgery and stunning now (and you put up with my lame attempt at a joke)

Everyone else, I enjoy seeing y’all and should we ever meet, first round is on me.

OK, your own rules say that you do not have to explain-true, we have always been cordial, and i think you are one of our top posters, but- any particular reason for this hug?

Yes, yes we do. IIRC, that is. 😉

To everyone else who gave me hugs, but who I’m too lazy to quote: Awww… I love you guys!!! 😃

I don’t have to tell you! I don’t have to tell you! 😛

Actually, it’s because for the past few days, all the posts I have read from you have been funny and nice and just good. Not that you usually suck or anything, it’s just that recently you’ve been getting in some pretty good 1-2 liners and I’ve enjoyed reading them. Now, you and I don’t agree on several topics but let it be known that I still think you’re a great person and one hell of an entertaining poster. I’ve just really enjoyed most of your recent posts since most of the ones I have read have not been about things I disagree with you on!
